We were paying other people to do things we could easily do ourselves.

Mary Hunt

The taxpayers shouldn't be paying money for experts until the time comes when those experts are needed and they're not needed now.

Robert Horan

He wasn't paying attention. The light was green for me and there was a don't walk sign for him.

Carl Harris

You need to get this stuff out in the open, make sure that people understand what they are paying for.

Barbara Roper

Before we had the new jail we were paying rent (for prisoner housing) and we hoped after building the new jail we could be on the receiving end of that. And we have, somewhat, but we had hoped we would have more interest.

Allen Stockberger

By and large, Medicaid will stop paying for prescriptions and the Medicare plan will take over.

Nancy Schmidt

(Catholic Healthcare Partners) has the highest paid CEO in Ohio. They're paying 40 people $20 million per year.

Scott Courtney

He would always come down on his own and watch film. He worked hard to get better, and it's paying off.

Paul Vosburgh

Most insurers are going to pick the most cost-effective option. Most likely [face transplants] are going to only be an option to those who are paying cash. But that applies to all of medicine. Who can get a cochlear implant? Does it come down to if they can pay for it?

Dr. Laxmeesh Nayak

I can't think of any other school paying someone extra where they didn't require any extra duties. That's what makes it wrong to me. It seems like just a gift.

Allen Mcdonald

Given the protest and everything, I think people are opening their eyes and paying attention to what is going on. I thought the letters would be a nice follow-up (to the protest).

Susanne Villarreal

We're paying far too much to former teachers.

Robert Damaschi

Our hope is to be able to enter the market at a price that's less than what you're paying today.

John Knapp

People are paying $30,000 or $40,000 for a used tire that if it was new would cost $20,000.

Brian Hewitt

The performance of dividend-paying stocks has more to do with the fundamentals in their industries.

Linda Duessel

Life makes writing poetry necessary to prove I really was paying attention.

Mark Strand

We are paying for the strong level of the euro, ... An American would think twice before coming to France on holiday.

Marc Touati

When school children start paying union dues, that 's when I'll start representing the interests of school children.

Albert Shanker

We might do a date here or there if there are opportunities to get a special guest to sing. That's been discussed. More likely at this point we'll do benefits rather than paying gigs.

Bill Siddons

There are still some barriers to some particular jobs that are more high paying jobs like high-level executives, CEOs of companies that women just aren't in the proportion that men are in.

Dr. Pat Hedberg

Your preparer can represent you in court and it is in their best interest to make sure they do so as effectively as possible including paying for any mistakes for which they have caused you to incur any fees.

Doug Nogami

The advertisers need to be aware that they are not getting their money's worth -- they have a contract that said they are paying for one thing and they are getting another.

Ben Edelman

A very high proportion of that job growth is occurring in high-paying professions. This is a demand-driven market and demand vastly exceeds supply.

Mark Vitner

If I was at fault, I could see paying. But I wasn't . I told the guys at work, if you're even close to an accident, get out of there because you're going to get a bill.

Dale Armstrong

The administration is not paying attention to the laws of biodiversity. It's paying far more attention to the laws of political expediency.

Glen Spain

It's definitely a passion on ours. For me, it's like paying it forward. I'm living proof of what you can do if someone believes in you.

Amy Fessler

Continuing domestic energy price rises will lead to a major increase in the number of households struggling to pay their bills, or paying the health and social costs of living in cold, damp homes.

William Gillis

So we're paying about $2 million a year on debt reduction.

Dick Hamilton

It's important to sign up now. You carry car insurance. You don't ever think you're going to have an accident, so what are you paying for? That time when somebody backs into you and you need the coverage.

Carol Maszk

It's as if the FERC is said 'Clean up this mess' and only the public will be paying for that.

Mark Toussaint

We've tried to step it up defensively lately. Our depth is also paying off for us.

Isaac Marti

The potential is huge, yet the pitfalls are bottomless. After years of communism, some companies borrow without the intention of ever paying the money back. It's a very high-risk market.

Francis Lun

It is time, once and for all, for small businesses to be put on equal footing with large businesses when paying for health care.

Todd Mccracken

Our concern is whether this is the best move for the taxpayers' dollars. That property is prime. Even though Simpson is paying (more than) $60,000 per acre, they're getting a heck of a deal.

John Philbrook

I'm kind of paying homage to the old styles, (and) at the same time mixing it up.

Javier Garcia

They may be with friends, they may be with families. They may be in a hotel they're paying for themselves, or they may be renting a place.

Karen Szulczewski

People can rationalize not paying for something, but the fact of the matter is they're stealing. This (music) doesn't get created for free. The consumers are really getting cheated.

Brad Buckles

These will be high-paying jobs that will enable more young people to stay in the area.

Aaron Green

Don't let the temptation of deductible mortgage interest steer you away from paying down your mortgage.

Marc Freedman

The customer would be only paying a basic charge and a customization charge, and nothing else.

Rahul Gupta

A minority group has "arrived" only when it has the right to produce some fools and scoundrels without the entire group paying for it.

Carl T. Rowan

Whoever ends up getting Guidant at this point will probably end up paying too much.

Allen Michel

Look at what people are paying for drugs in other countries, ... This bill may not be perfect but it's a step in the right direction.

Gil Gutknecht

You bought it on sale and you end off paying more for it if you paid by credit card. Get that debt paid off and get on with it.

Barbara Steinmetz

Advertisers are paying millions to companies whose practices are often borderline and an annoyance to Web users. The problem is what to put in place of distributed advertising.

Michael Hamilton

We have to focus on paying the claims and looking at the sources we have to do that.

Justin Glover

I think he's very set on his work ethic. And I think he's getting what he deserves. He's put the time in to do what he's wanting to do, and it's paying off for him.

Marcus Greer

Incredible scheme to coerce and intimidate the government into paying them $10 million.

Robert Horan

It is possible some could read this and say, 'they're encouraging me to pay late,' ... Paying late is never a good deal.

Travis Plunkett

If I'm paying those guys' salaries, I don't want them in there. It's a joke. Why do we even have replay officials if they're not going to call that?

Wes Walz

All we did is work hard and now it is paying off. It just feels so fortunate because we as a team realize where we came from and where we are now.

Brandon Hoyte

To me, he's the epitome of a great athlete. He gets these injuries because he plays so hard. I'm always skeptical of guys who don't have an injury here and there because if you're paying the price every night those things are going to happen. Chris gives 100 percent every night.

Phil Osaer

We're probably still paying for that ring.

Shawn Varney

These kids are paying for gas and being more conscious of it.

Robert Peterson

The most important things in those first few seconds are, basically, a firm handshake and a smile, good eye contact and really paying attention.

Pat Schaumann

Relationships with our customers have never been better. We made the investment into their emotional bank accounts, and they are paying the dividends with their increased frequency and ticket averages. It truly is a win-win relationship.

Pat Lewis

Given the risks of an expensive audit, paying strict attention to the rules is the only smart decision you can make.

Kathy Burlison

I'm very happy about that. It's a great thing to have people from all over the world paying attention to us and to have an increased awareness of the University of Chicago worldwide.

Ted O'neill

He doesn't understand why he is paying the price for something his grandfather did. When he was just a minor, he couldn't have done anything to help him.

Ashley Painter

Unless they show up there as a millionaire, they have to be ready to pay their dues, and that was the first part of me paying my dues in New York.

Ingrid Jensen

Quirky she is, but she offers the best opportunity in this city to groups who can attract paying fans. Sure, she's difficult at times, but a lot less difficult than other local club owners.

Jeff Green

They are paying their fair share of the overall project.

Alan Walter

If the price of oil rises, Iraqis will be paying for the incompetence of the government in maintaining security and in the meantime millions of Iraqis will not be able to afford the proposed price.

Kamal Yassin

These are good-paying jobs that would be hard to replace.

John Slenker

People enjoying the fruits of improved health care aren't the people paying for it.

Dana Goldman

It comes down to community involvement and paying back to a district that gave so much to me as a student.

David Wallace

I think the most important thing here is... paying homage to other artists. Everybody (is) passing the baton because there are many people who are going to be in this show. If it wasn't for them, a lot of the rest of us wouldn't be doing this.

Robbie Robertson

Only Chuck Blasdel would think he's solved his ethical and legal problems by only partially paying what he owes in back taxes.

Adrienne Elrod

Many people can't pay or won't pay. They think ambulance service should be free. By not paying, they end up jeopardizing the service.

Rick Bronson

To start doing online banking and bill paying is a behavior shift. For most people it requires someone you know and believe to say it's a good idea.

Judy Wicks

We're not very old. That's the thing that excites me is we're not very old. The girls think of golf as not just something to do, but something to be very good at. We have a lot of fun but, at the same time, we compete in practice. I think it's paying off.

Andy Hallett

You'll be paying 75 cents a beer instead of $3.

Suzanne Williamson

I used to do this as a kid. And now they're paying me for it, which is cool.

Will Kemp

We do have a fortunate story. This man (Mueller) opened up his home to us. He was paying his employees. They were giving pizza to police officers.

Tom Griffin

We have them identified, and one of them we're paying very close attention to. We're in contact with the registered owner of the car. We'd like to get all the forensic evidence before we go hooking people up.

Lt. Miguel Rosario

We've just been practicing hard and it's paying off. As a team we really click and get a lot of connections on the field.

Anna Riordan

The mistake that was made was not paying enough attention to temporary housing.

Andrew Steer

I consider those kind of like misses. I wasn't really paying attention.

Crystal Langhorne

They're paying for that service with him because that's all he does but he does it really well. He may be the best in the league.

Joe Paopao

If (union members) were going to end up paying so much more into the retirement plan or the health insurance ... why would you want to keep the job? You can't make a living at it.

Jan Adams

It would be nice if we had something here in the North Country where there were enough good jobs, good paying jobs, so that our youngsters when they graduated would have an option. They wouldn't have to stay here but they would have an option to stay if they so chose.

James Dawson

They're really not paying more (in fees), they've just been shifted to comply with the law.

Ralph J. Smith

The only people who are actually paying the taxes are new home buyers. A lot of the wealthy people are not paying the taxes they should be paying, and a lot of the middle-class people are actually bearing the tax burden.

Bill Aaron

That's why the district referred it to the inspector general. Let's get to the bottom of this and see if we are paying a fair price, as we want to do.

Steve Homan

Additionally, we know that historically 38 percent of the people we feed have chosen between paying their utility bills and buying food.

Warren Catlett

People need to be careful. See what you're paying for the perk.

Reuben Brewer

It's a lot more convenient. We're able to do more than when I was paying $475 a month for the apartment I couldn't have. Now I'm paying for a house that I can have.

Tom Cameron

Not only are we paying anywhere from 13 to 30 cents more than we did a month ago, but we're still more than a month away from Memorial Day weekend.

Michael Geeser

That would be fabulous. With DSL [Digital Subscriber Line] you end up paying $50 per month for less than a 1Mb connection.

Melanie Posey

I just keep paying and paying and paying.

Curtis Fireman

I think the challenge is going out in front of a paying audience with absolutely nothing and trying to entertain them for two hours, ... Thankfully, I only think about that right before we go on, and then once we're out there, everything's fine.

Colin Mochrie

We've raised over $1 million since we purchased the building. In the past five years, the majority of it has gone to paying down the debt of the buildings. We've taken on close to $800,000 in debt and so far have paid off about $300,000 of that.

Brent Earl

They really do have the Europeans over a barrel. They could send these Europeans packing and say, 'Listen you guys abused us with that agreement and now you're paying the consequences. So don't come crying to us because we're not going to help you.

Laurent Ruessmann

I have maintained all along that J&J was paying far too much for Guidant. They would pay a higher multiple for St. Jude, but it would be a higher quality situation.

John Putnam

She really opened our family's eyes to the situation. It's something people here aren't paying enough attention to.

Cindy Corrie

The rates we have proposed to Dish are highly competitive relative to what we believe Dish is paying for other networks - including networks that are far less popular - and would not add to Dish customers' costs.

Betty Cohen

Bush will continue to keep the pressure up but China isn't going to bow to political pressure. People are paying attention to this, but it's not moving the currency markets and China's unlikely to move again anytime soon.

Simon Derrick

We are not going to achieve a new world order without paying for it in blood as well as in words and money.

Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.

It appears our least expensive source of wholesale energy is based on the most expensive KCPL generating unit operating, ... As bad as that is, it is better than paying market rates.

Paul Jensen

Our short passing game was working. It's something we've been working on and it seems to be paying off.

Bill Hutton

Cost is a big challenge. It's not like hospitals aren't used to paying a lot of money for important things like medical equipment, but it's a little more difficult to convince them that money is better spent on information technology rather than new medical technology.

Patti Smoake

It's not easy. We mostly depend on the ministry for money, but the ministry is running out. We're down to paying half of a bill here and half of another there. If we have money, we send everybody $10.

Norma Mccorvey

A normal market is better for active management. I'm paying a manager to keep me out of trouble.

Robert Hopkins

The time to do something is now because we have no debt, we own the building and the land. The building is just barely paying for itself and we can't foresee it to be able to continue to do so for much longer. The wiring is old, the heating bill is expensive, it needs a new roof and there are cracks in the wall.

Don Macdonald

Some people have a value that is worth paying for.

Robert Bernstein

That's a very costly program. You're paying people not to work.

Brett Hoselton

We've been able to get grants to help fund repairs on the homes but our money is a little low for the overhead and for paying two of our employees' salaries here.

Jill Davidson

I don't think they're getting ripped off, but they're not getting a bargain, either. They're probably paying market.

Russ Sampson

Thurgood was amazing. He came up huge when it counted. We have two freshmen out there paying the price in pressure situations. It's going to pay big dividends in the future.

Randy Mcallister

It's a nervous work. The state that you need to write is the state that others are paying large sums to get rid of.

Shirley Hazzard

We haven't been paying attention to wins or losses. Our character is getting tougher. Conference play is what it's all about.

Holly Brown

We're paying more, we're offering great benefits, we're doing everything we can think of, but it's hard getting people to come back. I think a lot of people just aren't interested in returning right now.

Ralph Brennan

It seems like it's the drivers who aren't paying attention -- not aware -- or don't understand what it's like to be six inches from a car when they're going 60 mph past you. It's scary.

Clark Metcalfe

People are willing to pay their doctors for their annual check-up. I think people should start paying someone to give them an annual financial checkup.

Dennis Yaw

It was appalling to me, when these players are supposed to be role models. It occurred to me that this is not what the taxpayers of California are supposed to be paying for.

Assemblyman Jay La Suer

Our fight is not whether market share was lost or not. We have aggressively upheld terms of this agreement, including going after companies that weren't paying their fair share.

Rusty Hills

You can see his shadow. He'll watch. He is a great observer. When the head coach seriously believes in it, not just paying lip service to it, it makes my job more efficient. Guys know what he wants.

Joe Juraszek

Because of the development cycles, it has become less and less attractive for enterprise customers to buy a contract where you are effectively pre-paying for the next version.

Rob Helm

As a matter of fact, just the contrary. I mean, we're moving more equipment in, we have the weapons we need, we have the fuel we need, we have the crews we need, and now Milosevic is going just the opposite direction, ... So he needs to start paying attention.

Charles Wald

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work, driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to a job that you need so you can pay for the clothes, car and the house that you leave empty all day in order to afford to live in it.

Ellen Goodman

We're not paying attention to it. We're just trying to take it one game at a time.

Emma Morrison

The money Ms. Rice raised allowed the campaign to air more ads than our opponent in the closing days, when people are paying most attention.

Eric Phillips

It's kind of a reward for the guys who have played well this year. There's no entry fee, but we're paying out over $2,000 in prizes.

Eric Kennedy

Too bad drinking scotch isn't a paying job or Kenny's dad would be a millionare!

Eric Cartman

Actually, I'm not sure we're paying attention to that. I'm just paying attention to doing whatever it takes to help this team.

Erik Cole

Sometimes it may make the difference between putting food on the table and paying that fine, and losing your job if you do community service. I don't know how many around this horseshoe understand that, but that's the way I grew up.

Eric Turner

I'm so glad I'm not paying off loans to the bank, ... If you get into debt, you can get creamed real fast.

Suellen Miller

I really wasn't paying any attention until that last timeout. With three or four minutes left coach (Darrin) Horn told me to go out there and try to block what I could. I'm glad with the way I came out and played.

Elgrace Wilborn

This is the first time the city is paying attention to us.

Elena Diego

We will turn the corner soon and start getting some wins, and our hard work will start paying off.

Eddie Pope

It will be very hard to get more money. Members never like paying extra money unless you can show them exactly where it goes.

Ed Cashman

You expect that out of a quarterback. I'm pleased with his work habits. He's paying attention to everything. He can make the throws. He makes good decisions for the most part and doing things that help the offense run.

Ed Zaunbrecher

I have lived in many places. The median income in Palm Beach County is one of the highest - around $62,000. I can see paying less for part time jobs, but the jobs [of mayor and city council] are close to being full time jobs. Paying them $9,000 and $7,200 is ridiculous.

Jed Westover

Most people treat IRA contributions like they're paying a bill. They should think about it as paying themselves.

Ed Slott

We must attach importance to food safety because it is concerning people's lives ... We have been paying much attention and will pay even more attention to the security of food supply to Hong Kong.

Zeng Qinghong
